www.nilewaterlab.org is an interactive web platform which creatively presents and brings into conversation multiple understandings (maps, measurements, ethnographic studies, histories) of river basin development projects along the Nile with the objective of allowing comparison between them, therewith opening up and substantiating debates between policy makers, (future) water professionals, students and others interested.
Visitors of the web platform and partners who will use the platform in their education and workshops will be able to manoeuvre through it, exploring, combining and comparing different ways of understanding and visualizing how Nile projects alter water flows and allocations. These different understandings are presented through photographs, stories, videos, and remote sensing analyses (maps) that were gathered during 8 years of years of field work on Nile projects by IHE Delft and partners.
